FormscanBy Michael Graham - NELL'S WELL can supplement her Grade 3 success in Cork. She stormed home by eight lengths when stepped up to 3m and, although that was on soft going, she enjoys better ground as she showed when shedding her maiden tag at Tramore in October. Jockey Mark McDonagh's record on her is 1221. Mr Fred Rogers is dangerous up in trip. He got off the mark over an extended 2m5f in Punchestown. He was beaten a fair way into third at Navan, however, that was a Grade 2 contest and he kept on at the end of 2m4f so could enjoy this extra distance. Mythical Hero is markedly up in trip after winning by a neck over 2m in Cork. There should be more to come from him.
